I worked 15+ years in a fast food restaurant. I was informally part of the training team. I can say that despite the job being labled "unskilled," it indeed took skill. There were numerous people who just couldn't do it. There was at least one instance of a person who was training who didn't make it past the first 3 days on the job. You had to learn how to handle the various ovens. How to handle the knives, etc. That doesn't even include interactions with customers
Would you know how to tackle a seemingly endless lunch line of demanding customers without breaking down? How much of what product to make to account for demand?
The phrase "unskilled labor" gets under my skin every time. I didn't sit through numerous classes related to my job just to be told i was "unskilled"
#all labor is skilled labor#sorry for the ranty addition but i get heated whenever i see that phrase#i didnt run myself into the ground some days to be told i'm “unskilled”

So I have had a ridiculous amount of fun this last week plushifying art and throwing my usual crafting rules out the window as I did so*, and I think I want to make plushifying art a more regular thing? I'm not sure how best to do that, though. Should I make a post that's like "reblog this if you want your art turned into plushies", or "reblog this with links to art you want turned into plushies" or suggest a tag that people can add to art they want plushified, and then I go through the tag when I want to make some plushies? *no paper patterns, just drawing directly on the fabric so each plushie is one of a kind
#the person behind the yarn#I can't guarantee I'll make all of them#some things are harder to plushify than others#whether for skill level concerns or 3D object concerns or just don't have that fabric concerns#(for the life of me I haven't been able to find purple faux fur)#also when I plushify art the artist always gets first dibs on the plushie#and I am almost always more than happy to send the artist the plushies#either in exchange for an art trade#or if no trade I usually just ask if they are willing to cover the cost of shipping?#if it's got some bought-for-that-project supplies I miiiight ask if they're willing to cover that specific cost#but that would be like. if I had to buy beads and used them all up making the thing#and maybe for more labor intensive plushies??? idk how detailed some of these might be#most of the time it's either art trades or the cost of shipping

w's for the day:
Facen't
.... by which i mean i got the radiator assembly off of the mini on my own. got a couple other things off as well, and i've been keeping everything labelled and recording how things go together. recording and labelling is probably making it all take half again as long, but fuck me if it wont be good to have later.
my cousin helped me find + assemble the engine hoist and stand, which are both fuck off heavy as hell and were tucked in the back corner of one of the garage bays bc of course. it's so strange that he's 15 now.
my syllabus for enviro chem got posted !
annnd finally we found a fill for all of my raid days that i'll miss yippee
#struggling with recording my hours worked because i feel like i'm always trying but i work so slowly :( but also i've literally been working#on a car i've never touched beforw for a day and a half and i already think i'll be able to pull the engine tomorrow#it's been really difficult to internalize that even though i feel slow in every sense of the word when working on cars#the fact that i'm able to work on them at all is not actually a common skill in the way i feel like it is#my brain: i dont think it's worth 8 hours of work today.... :(#the rational man inside me who looks suspiciously like sevrin ffxiv: you are REMOVING THE ENGINE FROM A CAR#WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT#JUST REMOVING ONE AND DROPPING A WORKING ONE IN IS LIKE $1500 IN LABOR ARE YOU NUTS ????#<- had to look up how much replacing a mini engine costs as a shop for this bit and it did genuinely make me feel better 😔😔😔😔😔😔#also. boy looking at a syllabus for the first time in a while brings up some feelings. whoof.#yramtd

We already know this to be true. Look at how people (in the US) reacted when COVID shut everything down. And many were labeled ‘essential workers’ until companies could go back to claiming ‘nobody wants to work anymore’ in less than 2 years.
They are, basically then, socially essential. And people should be paid a living wage for any job, especially an essential one.

People who say this are literally saying that they prefer for the workers to all be inexperienced and desperately looking for other jobs. But they somehow also expect good service.

i bring an “all labor is skilled labor” vibe to the history class that the capitalists here dont really like
#‘factory work is unskilled labor anyone can do it’#okay so go do it then#go on . walk into a factory and start doing the work if it’s so easy#oh you don’t know how to work the machines? okay. so have someone teach you. but now#guess what!! you just LEARNED NEW SKILLS#TO WORK THE MACHINES#AT YOUR SUPPOSEDLY UNSKILLED JOB#sure. some jobs are Objectively less work in one way or another#BUT ALL OF THEM REQUIRE SKILLS YOU DONT HAVE UPON STARTING OUT#calling something unskilled labor just diminishes it and is used as an excuse to exploit those workers of their pay

this is so funny. designated frothing fascist bc i think algorithmic machine generated images kind of blow and also are absolutely horrendous for the environment
#make no mistake it IS a post about ai art and it IS made by a tumblr tankie bc again. they do not view creative labor as actual labor lol#someone made a good point abt how it is inherently exploitative and someone else was like oh? explain how w/out bringing up plagiarism#girl first of all im not letting you dictate the terms of the debate so transparently.#secondly. again. the visual art that these tech bros are scraping took time and skill and real labor to create lol#forgive me if i dont see some bro in silicon valley scraping the products of working artists labor w/out permission or compensation#in order to make a quick buck as anything other than an outright scam!!!

I don't know if "unskilled labor" is a real job category over in the US but I keep seeing the tags "no such thing as unskilled labor" on videos of road workers doing something cool, machine operators, or just anyone in high vis honestly. And it's been driving me nuts for some reason maybe because it sounds so condescending. And american
#there's education out there other than getting a degree at a university#but the natural reaction seems to be damn this Manual Labor requires some skill! guess these guys aren't brain dead after all!

I'm an argumentative bastard just like both my parents but I try not to get into fights too much because a lot of arguments just turn into a waste of time but fuck man. It's really hard sometimes.
#chit chat#work stuff#'unskilled labor' is my secret communist trigger phrase and one day I'm gonna get fired#for yelling at a fucking office manager customer about how I know damn well how to keep employees in line and file paperwork#but I'd sure like to see him throw freight for ten hours a day every day for a year without cracking#and I'd like to see him get screamed at by a customer and have a portable grill thrown at him and not see him lose his cool#and I'd like to see him drive our assortment of forklifts through a store at 2pm and not hit anything or any customer not paying attention#not only is this skilled labor but im DAMN skilled at it#and he wasn’t even talking about retail specifically he was talking about mcdonalds#but i know what office work entails because I've done it and it's also half my job here#and 16yo burger flippers do a lot more have a lot more skills and risk a lot more danger than fucking working on microsoft excel all day#and yes a lot of office work is necessary but it's not fucking better than retail or food service#and I hope all his computers have slow internet for the rest of his life#jfc
